Thank you!
This response confirms that the Division of Enforcement of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has received your complaint.
We are always interested in hearing from members of the public, and you may be assured that the matter you have raised is being given careful consideration in view of the Commission's overall enforcement responsibilities under the federal securities laws. It is, however, the Commission's policy to conduct its inquiries on a confidential basis. The Commission conducts its investigations in this manner to preserve the integrity of its investigative process as well as to protect persons against whom unfounded charges may be made or where the Commission determines that enforcement action is not necessary or appropriate. Subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, the existence or non-existence of an investigation as well as information which may be gathered thereunder is not disclosed unless made a matter of public record in proceedings brought before the Commission or in the courts.
Should you have any additional information or questions pertaining to this matter, please feel free to communicate directly with the undersigned at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 or via e-mail at
enforcement@sec.gov. We appreciate your interest in the work of the Commission and its Division of Enforcement.
Very truly yours,
